4.0 out of 5 stars
The movie gets five stars,
By "vashti1999" (Jamaica, New York USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sunset Park (DVD)
But the dvd gets only 3 from me, so it averages out to a 4 star release. I was happy when I found out one of my favorite movies was coming out on dvd. A story about overcoming differences; the white female coaching the young, black, inner-city basketball team. There's tension in the beginning because they're unfamiliar with each other, but they learn to work together and end up finding success. Yeah, it may seem like something you've seen before, yeah it may be predictable. But so what? That doesn't mean it's not good. I think the movie did a good job of making the viewer care about and root for the characters, especially Fredro Starr's character, Shorty Dowop. He showed that ruffnecks could be sensitive and have feelings as well as forties. Basically, I love the movie, but the dvd is only in full screen, not wide screen. It would have been nice to have a choice. The only extras are trailers for Race The Sun, Higher Learning and Sunset Park. A music video, filmographies or commentary would have been nice as well, but Columbia/Tristar's low frills dvd treatment prevents me from giving it a perfect score.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Cute little movie,
By kelly (NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sunset Park [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Like I said, it's a cute little movie. I didn't think it stereotypical and I'm Black. It wasn't the usual "White person comes into the ghetto and saves the day". The Coach and the Kids all grew and helped each other. It's a fun feel good flick; enjoy it for what it's worth.
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Sunset Park [VHS] (VHS Tape)
...Remembering the old school rap song by Kurtis Blow.
I have seen this movie for the first time on a tour bus. ...I got to have. The characters are witty as they deal with the trials and tribulations surrounding high school basketball. No dull moments...great script and acting. Great early works of Terrance Howard and the supporting cast.
